Biking w/ Ilana, Cartwheeling w/ Abs,

April 9, 2019 (Afternoon)

Exercise Type: Bike

Comments:
I showed up at 3:45 planning to run over St. Albans to watch the midweek low-key meet with the runners who weren't in it. But they didn't really want to go over so soon before the events started. Can't really understand why hanging out in the wrestling and weight room sounded more fun to them than sunning themselves on the field at St. Albans but to each their own. After Maddi declared her everlasting hatred for dynamic stretches and announced she would rather do situps than skips, I let them all chose their own adventure and headed into the weight room to see if there was some better form of entertainment than watching Abby Murphy attempt to execute a cartwheel (an interest I'll take full credit for, after demonstrating for her on Saturday). Ended up biking alongside Ilana for 20 minutes or so, as we talked about everything under the sun. Stationary biking is one of those things that can be fun or torturous depending on whether you have something to distract you from it. My hip and my hamstring tendon were feeling fine, so I joined the uninjured kiddos on their run to St. Albans. When I got there, I saw my childhood friend David Levy coaching 70 Lowell School middle schoolers!

More on the run itself in the next log entry.
